Gu Ran smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big condition - it's like this. Several good friends in China have created a mobile app for watching football, mainly so that my fans in China can watch it. As for me, yes, I didn't expect that I still have fans in our country - in short, if you want to live broadcast on the mobile phone, you need the mobile phone authorization of our Southampton club."
The senior executives present were all stunned.
They imagined various conditions that Gu Ran might propose, including providing main player-level benefits, or providing a car, or further increasing the business share, or even replacing Rick with two beautiful women. Assistant or something...
But they never expected that Gu Ran would put forward a condition that confused them.
live streaming?
And it’s also a mobile APP live broadcast?
What kind of condition is this?
The current market in this area is too small, right?
Almost equal to nothing!
Nowadays, who is not watching the live broadcast on site or on TV?
Even if you are a netizen, you would rather watch the live broadcast on an Internet computer. Who would watch the live broadcast on the small screen of a mobile phone APP that gets hot and freezes after watching it for a while?
And from the perspective of commercial contracts, there are no clauses regarding the copyright of mobile online live broadcasts.
Commercial Director Philip Butz cleared his throat, "Gu, as far as I know, the current online live broadcast is very unstable, and the traffic charges are extremely high. People are definitely more willing to come in person or watch the live broadcast on TV."
Gu Ran didn't argue, "Maybe, but who knows in the future? These friends of mine have never done this before, so it's basically just for fun. But now that they have found me, I naturally won't It’s easy to refuse, they just want a mobile network copyright authorization, and of course, if revenue is generated, they will definitely pay the mobile network copyright share.”
Several senior officials looked at each other.
Can this kind of petty quarrel make money in the Chinese market?
Gu, as expected, is just a football player and doesn’t know how to invest at all!
Marketing Director Woodhouse Ingham was the first to express his opinion, "I think there is no problem with this. The Chinese market is very vast. We can use this APP to increase our visibility and influence among Chinese fans - this is absolutely important to us." It’s a win-win.”
Commercial Director Philip Butz also nodded and said: "Yes, there is no cost. Although I think it is impossible to make money, but... Southampton Club will not lose money, right? If it really can make money, then It’s like picking it up for free, so I agree.”
CEO Mark Fry pondered for a while and said: "Mobile online copyright is really new. But I think it should still be classified as a major online copyright. Since it belongs to online copyright, it doesn't just require Southampton. Club authorization also requires the consent of the commercial director of the English League One Company and the English Football Association Corporation. Of course, they should not block us for this kind of stupid copyright, as long as your friends can pay the English League One lump sum. The company and the FA will pay for the webcast for a whole year - if it really can’t be solved, we still have Les, if Les takes action, it will definitely be fine. This is much simpler than a labor certificate.”
Gu Ran asked: "How much is the one-year buyout fee for major network copyrights?"
Mark Frye said: "If it is just for the live broadcast of your Southampton game, then I guess it will not be very high. The two companies combined will not exceed 1 million pounds at most. As for our Southampton club Here, we only want 20% of the net income, and we don’t want a penny from the rest.”
Other senior executives also nodded.
Gu Ran's brows moved slightly!
One million pounds per year to buy out the rights of a major network - this is actually very little compared to the tens of millions in TV broadcast fees!
However, for an APP startup company, 1 million pounds a year is equivalent to 10 million domestically!
In the era when APP live broadcasting just started, it would be very difficult for an unpopular football APP to earn back 10 million in capital.
Gu Ran immediately said: "One million pounds is a bit high, and I also plan to invest in their APP."
Mark Fry naturally understood what Gu Ran meant.
Mark Frye smiled, "One million pounds is just my estimate. In fact, there is a lot of room for maneuver. After all, you only use mobile APPs, and you don't live broadcast all English League One games - let Lao Lai Si came forward and changed the buyout of League One and the Football Association to 10% of your net income, and we took the other 10%. If you pay another one-time public relations fee of 100,000 pounds, this matter will basically be done. nailed it."
To put it bluntly, the public relations fee of 100,000 pounds is...
Of course, if old Les hadn't come forward, he wouldn't have been able to pay the 100,000 pounds in public relations fees!
For 100,000 pounds plus 20% of the net profit share, it is appropriate to obtain the large network copyright of "Southampton Club related games" in China!
Gu Ran said immediately: "Okay! Just do as Mr. Fry said!"
Old Lais frowned slightly and asked in disbelief: "Gu...that's all you ask for? I mean, is this too simple?"
For old Les, this kind of thing is really too simple, and he is a little embarrassed about it.
Gu Ran smiled: "I am very satisfied with the club, and I have never thought of opening my mouth to the Southampton club while the Premier League club has made an offer to me. This time the online copyright authorization was only because the domestic brothers found me I only mentioned it in passing."
Old Rice held Gu Ran's hand with admiration, "Gu, you are really a player with a very professional ethics! It would be great if every professional player in Southampton could be like you! Don't worry, I will take care of the mobile APP copyright myself and I will definitely get it done for you! The treaty we talked about, I also asked the legal affairs department to write it into the contract! Yes, why not? The Chinese market has huge potential, and there are not many players in China. Do you know how rare and rare a good Chinese player is in the UK? Just like Woodhouse said, we can take the opportunity to open up the Chinese market! This is not a condition you put on us, but a benefit to us!"
Old Les is still very good at talking.
Gu Ran then smiled and said: "Thank you for saying that, Mr. Rice. Then I have no other questions. I completely agree with the club's upgraded contract. I can't wait to hand over the beginning of my career to the Saints." , I can’t wait to prove my worth to all BOSS.”
"Okay! Well said!"
"If you mess with Fake, I'm on fire!"
"I'm very much looking forward to Gu's debut!"
"I can already predict that tomorrow's public training session will be very exciting! I will definitely bring my whole family to watch it!"
Every one of the senior executives present applauded excitedly!
Gu Ran stood up quickly and thanked him repeatedly.
——In fact, raising the minimum termination fee is nothing to Gu Ran.
Now that it has been determined that he will start at Southampton Club, the offers from Liverpool or Manchester City have become less attractive.
With his current strength and reputation, even if he really goes to Liverpool and Manchester City, it will be difficult to get a chance to play in the first team.
In the Southampton club, as long as the performance is amazing enough, the main position can be established within half a season and the opportunities for actual matches are increased, it is still very good for growth.
Let’s lay a solid foundation in English League One first, and then we’ll be worried that the wealthy clubs won’t be lining up to poach him?
What's 5 million, 8 million...where is this? ? ?
Maybe, you can really wear a bathrobe and wait for Linda and Sister NO to come to your door to bring warmth...
——Gu Ran tried to calm down his excitement.
Old Les rubbed his hands happily, "That's great Gu, we will arrange legal affairs to modify the contract immediately! Rick, you can take Gu to the physical examination center now. Once the physical examination is passed, our new contract will be ready. Now, you can bring Gu back to sign the new contract."
Rick immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Rice. Gu, let's go."
Gu Ran then said goodbye to the room full of senior executives, "Thank you everyone, I will go for a physical examination first."
"Okay, Gu!"
"Wish you all the best!"
"Come on, Gu! We are all very optimistic about you!"
"Looking forward to your performance in the public training session tomorrow!"
After Gu Ran shook hands with the senior executives one by one, he followed Rick out of the high-rise office and took the elevator to the physical examination center.
In the elevator, Rick said in admiration: "Gu, I have to say, really, I have to say, you are so stable! I have been the personal assistant of the main players for many years, and I have seen all kinds of players. You are the most stable person I have ever seen! Just because you are so stable, you will definitely become a big star in the future!"
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you Rick, I am a newbie after all, and I don't know much about many rules of professional clubs. Please take care of me in the future."
Rick was able to defeat two beautiful personal assistants, and there is certainly no doubt about his ability.
As for the idea of changing Rick into a beautiful personal assistant, it was just a complaint in his mind. As a person who only wants to play football, Gu Ran would of course prefer to have a capable assistant in his career.
Rick said excitedly: "Gu, you are so polite! This is the first time I have met a polite player like you! You are indeed Chinese! Don't worry, you will be my king from now on. He is your personal valet who is always at your call!"
Damn it...
This profession is called eunuch in China...
Gu Ran cleared his throat and said: "...Okay, Rick."
Ding.
The elevator door opened and the physical examination hall arrived.
Like a hound, Rick rushed out of the elevator first, knocked his heels, and opened his mouth to announce Gu Ran's arrival.
Gu Ran quickly grabbed Rick and said, "Don't, don't, don't, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
"Yes!" Rick shut up helplessly.
"Hi Gu!"
Maiv and Gregory, who had been waiting outside the physical examination hall for a long time, came over to greet them.
"Did the high-level welcome meeting go well?"
"Wow, Gu, you look so handsome in this suit!"
Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This suit is...forget it, let's hurry up and get a physical examination."
"Okay, follow me." Mai Fu led the way.
Gu Ran had also been to the physical examination hall before. There were only four doctors on duty at that time. Today is the first day back from the holiday. Players from the first team and the reserve team have to come to the physical examination center to complete their physical examination after returning. So today there are more than ten doctors in the physical examination center. All the doctors are here.
In addition, there are two players who have returned and are undergoing physical examinations in the medical examination room——
As soon as Gu Ran arrived, all the doctors immediately put down their work and ran out to surround Gu Ran.
Some took paper and pen to ask Gu Ran for his signature.
Some took out their mobile phones and asked to take photos with Gu Ran.
The scene almost got out of control!
"What are you doing? Go back to work!"
Dr. Pal Jensen, the chief team doctor with a white beard, frowned and roared, taking control of the situation.
The doctors could only disperse angrily.
At this time, Maeve and Gregory were most proud.
Although they always have to work overtime, as Gu Ran's exclusive team doctor and exclusive physiotherapist, they naturally have the right to be with Gu Ran during his physical examination.
After Dr. Jensen dismissed the other doctors, he walked up to Gu Ran with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Hi, Gu! Long time no see! Your physical condition looks very good!"
Gu Ran shook hands with Dr. Jensen, "Hello Dr. Jensen, as you can see, I'm here for a physical examination."
"Of course!" Dr. Jensen smiled: "For such a major matter, I have to come to check you in person. Maiv, Gregory, you two will be my assistants - Rick, please stay away, don't Touch my equipment."
Rick shrugged helplessly, "Pal, why haven't you forgotten that time I pulled out the plug of your electrocardiograph to charge my phone? Didn't I realize something was wrong after I pulled it out? I'll give it to you soon." Plugged it back in."
"Look at the shape of my mouth - get out."
"Okay, okay..." Rick stood aside obediently.
Gu Ran couldn't help but complain in his heart: I regret it! I still want a beautiful assistant! ! !
Dr. Jensen turned back to Gu Ran with a smile and said, "Let's hurry up. Come on, take off your shirt. Maeve, you will connect the biosignal electrodes. Gregory, you go prepare the ECG."
"OK."
Maeve and Gregory started working skillfully and methodically.
Gu Ran took off his shirt with a numb expression, revealing his muscular tendons.
"Wow~"
"What a great figure!"
"I really want to try it..."
The female doctors at the physical examination center were drooling through the glass.
A player who was testing the strength of his joints shouted tremblingly: "Doctor...doctor, come and turn off the machine, my Achilles tendon is about to tear!"
The female doctors then hurriedly dispersed and returned to their respective jobs.
But their eyes still couldn't help but glance at Gu Ran.
The first test is the ECG cardiopulmonary function test.
This examination is to test and evaluate the health of the player's heart and lungs. The heart and lungs are also the most important for football players.
Without a good heart and lungs, it is simply impossible to engage in the intense sport of football.
ECG examination is divided into two parts: static detection and dynamic detection.
Static testing involves lying on the testing bed and measuring ECG, blood pressure and other indicators.
Dynamic testing is to put on an oxygen mask on a multi-functional physical testing machine and run at a constant speed.
Gu Ran was already very familiar with this kind of detection, and completed the static detection and dynamic motion detection step by step.
The ECG data report was soon in the hands of Dr. Jensen.
Looking at the report, Dr. Jensen couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "Gu, your cardiopulmonary ability is perfect! Your physique is very good - of course, according to the report, you should still have a great physique. There is room for improvement! Yes, it doesn’t matter, don’t be afraid, just boldly improve your physique, and your cardiopulmonary capacity will be stronger.”
You don’t know how it feels to wake up every morning because of your own swelling...
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you Dr. Jensen for your advice. I will continue to improve my physical fitness."
Dr. Jensen solemnly signed his name on the ECG report, confirming that the test report was authentic and valid.
"Very well, let's do the second item."
The second item is the physical item inspection. The items to be checked are the player’s basic physical characteristics such as height, weight, and body fat content.
Gu Ran stood barefoot on the multi-functional body measuring instrument. Ten seconds later, Gu Ran's various body data were displayed on the LCD screen of the body measuring instrument.
Height 184.2CM, weight 72.7KG.
——The height has increased by 2.5cm compared to the previous measurement when he was on the school team!
From rebirth to now, in less than 3 months, I have actually grown 4.2cm!
The improvement in physical fitness is really visible!
My weight has decreased by 1.1 kilograms, but my figure looks significantly stronger than before - less fat and more muscle.
At this time, the data of BMI and body fat ratio are also displayed:
The BMI index is 21.47, and the body fat ratio is 10.82%.
Damn it...
Seeing this body fat ratio data, Gu Ran himself was shocked!
The body fat ratio of professional players is generally 12%, and the body fat ratio of 10.82% has surpassed the average professional player!
The improvement of physical attributes is really impressive!
If the physical attributes are raised to above 80 and combined with scientific training, wouldn't the body fat ratio be able to break 10?
The body fat ratio of top athletes is 8%, and Ronaldo’s is 7%…
Compared with the previous body fat ratio of 13%, the gap between me and Ronaldo has been significantly narrowed!
The only trouble is that improving physical attributes is a double-edged sword...
But you can’t stop eating because of choking, right?
You have to stretch your physique to full capacity sooner or later...
Alas, it’s all about playing football!
Dr. Jensen signed his name on the second examination.
After signing the signature, Dr. Jensen did not forget to praise: "Gu, your physical data is perfect! Your body training is very good. I can't believe you are from a grassroots background - I dare say that you usually do nothing but train. You train on the field, and you also train at home, right?”
A dribble... a shot counts, right?
Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Ahem, Dr. Jensen, you are really good at reading people."
Dr. Jensen said proudly: "Of course, I am the chief team doctor of Southampton Club. Well, the third item below, urinalysis, is to check whether your urine protein and other indicators are normal. As well as whether you have taken any contraband, we also need to analyze your kidney function."
A female doctor ran over excitedly, "Ahhh! Let me come! Let me come! It's finally my turn!"
Gu Ran's crotch tightened!
